I’ll see your Tom Hardy with a pit bull puppy pics and raise you a pic of an Ian Somerhalder with Grumpy Cat. (I know, nothing beats Tom Hardy with a pit bull puppy, but I tried it.)

Grumpy Cat (born name: Tardar Sauce) wouldn’t be Grumpy Cat if she wasn’t grumpy even when meeting a pretty-faced vampire with permanent “O RLY?” brows. Ian Somerhalder met Grumpy Cat at SXSW in Austin and he Instagrammed (via People) this memento from their first meeting. I’m just going to assume that Ian and Tardar Sauce’s meeting involved discussing the possibility of starring in a reboot of Turner & Hooch. (Ian will play a cheery detective and Grumpy Cat will play a grumpy cat who becomes his partner after witnessing a murder. Craig T. Nelson can recreate his role.)

Apparently, Grumpy Cat was the breakout star of SXSW and dozens of people lined up to meet her. Everybody wanted to meet the current reigning pussy queen of the Internet (never 4get Spaghetti Cat). So I’m guessing that next year, they’re going to change the name of SXSW to The Second Annual Grumpy Cat Meet And Greet.

And here’s more of Grumpy Cat looking like me when I went to Trader Joe’s this past weekend and found that they were all out of my favorite cheese crackers. I was confused, scared, pissed off and a little gassy.
